Do you ever feel like you have to hide parts of yourself to fit in—at work, with your family, or in relationships? That pressure can leave you feeling lonely, unsure, or disconnected from who you really are. Maybe you’re tired of old patterns that keep you stuck, lost, or burnt out. I offer Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Brainspotting, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—approaches that help heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and find relief from depression. Imagine what it’d feel like to be fully yourself in relationships that nourish and inspire you. You don’t have to do it alone.
I support people from all backgrounds, especially multiracial, POC, Asian diaspora, LGBTQIA, non-binary, and neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autistic, or gifted). Many work in tech, law, healthcare, startups, or creative fields—caring deeply, often navigating high expectations and unspoken pressure. As a former engineer, I understand that world from the inside.
My specialties include trauma; PTSD; childhood abuse; toxic/narcissistic relationships; codependency/boundaries; perfectionism; career transitions; gender identity; sexuality; religious trauma; grief and loss; psychedelic integration; queer/interracial/open relationships; cultural identity; intergenerational trauma; adults with emotionally immature parents.

Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are approaches for healing traumas relationally and experientially. IFS can enhance self-compassion, and reduce the negative impact of self-criticism, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. BSP is a mindfulness and somatic therapy approach for healing trauma. EFT is an attachment-based way to heal in relationships with loved ones.
